Tales of Zootopia: Alex and Ben
#16 of Tales of Zootopia
Just a story I should have written and posted a long time ago. I'm pretty sure what's been making me miserable lately is the lack of creative writing that I've been doing.
This is the story of two people meant for each other. One, Alex Yale, was a non-binary, intersexed Folf. Another, Ben was a Tiger who was born Gwen, but knew he was a boy since he knew there were multiple genders.
They were both born in rural Alabama, a place where none could simply let them be. Ben came out as trans at age 5, and Alex embraced his non-binary identity at around the same age. Ben completed his transition at age 6.
That was when they developed feelings for each other, but neither could bring themselves to tell the other. They loved playing video games together. Alex absolutely loved strategy games, but Ben had a strong affinity for action games.
The moment they set foot in middle school, they were bullied non-stop until they were out of middle school, having been mentally scarred forever. From the moment it started, they had found a way to cope with the bullying, by having wild and exuberant power fantasies. Alex's were about being a general, and Ben's were about being a super-soldier. Speaking from experience, feeling disempowered tends to make you tend towards power fantasies.
They developed sexual feelings for each other at age 12, and lost their virginities to each other at age 16. They both said that it was only to lose their virginities, but they both enjoyed it deeply, reaching orgasm rather quickly.
They told each other about their feelings at 17, and married at 18. When they were drafted together in the military, Alex became a general, Ben a super-soldier, and they worked together for years.
They retired together at the end of the third world war in Zootopia.
